I’m presenting at a Commerce teacher’s conference (Comview) next week, about social media and its impact on business today. Whenever I plan a presentation, it never ceases to amaze me how you seem to constantly find yourself immersed in terrific content that is so pertinent to your subject matter. This presentation from Leslie Bradshaw, one of the new wunderkinds of Data Visualisation, and co-founder of JESS3, is just such an example. I am certainly going to be mining this data for my presentation next week.
Be sure to view this presentation, and perhaps share the following quote with your Math’s teachers;
“Math majors, rejoice. Businesses are going to need tens of thousands of you in the coming years as companies grapple with a growing mountain of data.”
Steve Lohr – New York Times.
Data mining and the art of data visualisation are proving to be key jobs that will be in increasingly high demand in our socially connected and evolving world. The founders of JESS3, Jesse Thomas and Leslie Bradshaw are onto a good thing. (Got any openings for a highly enthusiastic teacher from Australia who loves what you do. ; ) )

Jenny, Good to see you are back on track and jet lag is history for now. Just sharing this video of Hans Rosling. It has been around for a year or so. You may have ready viewed but if not I know you will find it interesting. G’day from your #1 fan in San Antonio Texas.
